Parking & Public Transportation

Paid parking is available at the Sage Parking Garage (GPS address: 1320 Monroe Dr., Atlanta, GA, 30306). Enter off of Monroe Drive on Worchester Drive, or visitors can enter from Piedmont Avenue at the Atlanta Botanical Garden entrance. The park is accessed from the lowest floor. Parking rates are $2 per hour with a $15 maximum.

We strongly encourage using public transportation. Two MARTA stations are nearby: Midtown and Arts Center.

Upon exiting the Midtown Station, take 10th Street towards Peachtree Street and continue on 10th until you reach Charles Allen Drive. Enter the park at the stop light and you’ll see our Start/Finish line.

Upon exiting the Arts Center Station, head south on West Peachtree street for three blocks to 12th St. Head east (go left) on 12th Street for three blocks until you reach the 12th Street entrance to the Park. Enter the park and stay right around the lake – you’ll see the Start/Finish line as you continue through the park.

Motorcycle Honor Ride

The Motorcycle Honor Ride will kick off the start of the DAV 5K Atlanta! All makes and models are welcome. All riders and passengers must register.

On race day, motorcycles must enter Piedmont Park using the Park Drive entrance off of Monroe Dr. from 6:45 – 7:30 AM.

You will be directed where to go upon arrival. (This is not a typical public entry point for vehicles into the park.)

Please be extremely cautious when riding through Piedmont Park.

Volunteer Info

We will hold a volunteer meeting in advance of the event on Thursday, November 9 at 7 PM in the Grady High School Gym. During this time we will review important information about race day.

All volunteers will receive a commemorative DAV 5K shirt for their time. We ask that you arrive 15 minutes prior to your scheduled volunteer shift and check in at the volunteer tent race morning.

Post Party

Continue the celebration! Immediately after the Closing Ceremonies, all participants are invited to continue honoring our military service men and women at the DAV 5K Post Party at Park Tavern, just steps away from the finish line. Light snacks will be provided for all participants and registered veterans will receive 1 complimentary drink.
